About me
I am a director, actor, teacher, drama workshop facilitator, and writer. I trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and my acting work over the years has included fringe, rep and West End Theatre alongside, TV, film and radio. I worked at Chickenshed Theatre Company as Associate Director, then latterly as Creative Producer – New Writing Development. At Chickenshed I taught on the BTEC National Diploma, Performing Arts and the Foundation Degree, Inclusive Theatre. I was a workshop leader for children, young people and adults, and I devised, wrote and directed many shows from small studio productions to casts of 120. I also led a writers’ group to nurture emerging talent, and I managed theatre outreach projects. My directing work includes new writing, classics, Shakespeare, musicals and adaptions for all ages. I have also directed at Camden Peoples' Theatre, led projects with Clean Break Theatre and Hampstead Theatre, and been part of the Crescent Theatre Ensemble. I have devised various projects with groups and written specifically for different casts as well as directing standard plays, such as 'Our Country's Good'. 'Yard Gal', 'Comedy of Errors', 'Refugee Boy' alongside creating new works such as 'Unhealthy Business' a farce about the trials and tribulations of the Health Service, 'MySpace or Yours' a trawl through the lives behind a networking site and 'Greece - the Mythical' where rock and roll meets greek mythology and most recently 'Property' a look at the London housing Crisis. As a freelancer I have recently directed 'Genie' by Athena Stevens at the Finborough as part of Vibrant, their new writing festival. As a faciliatator i work for Greenwich and Lewisham Young People's Theatre, ArtsDepot and Theatre Workout. My most recent acting role was in the award winning film 'All of Me'..Additional skills:
